Discussion Is humanity getting dumber?

[Ventingblackpiller]

Are we getting more and more stupid in comparison with our ancestors?
There is some graphics that show the iq decreasing but it's only after the ww2
But if the iq was increasing all the time until ww2 it means we are more smart than Greeks, Romans philosopher?
I don't think so ,they don't look dumb at all.
They had both more awareness and logical skills than the normies of day.
In fact they where all "mysogenist"
Is intelligence not only iq?

I think they are. I think in the 20th century you basically had two opposing forces: On the one hand, the reduction of parasites, diseases and access to better nutrition and healthcare made people more intelligent. But then, especially later, dumber people procreate more which leads to people getting dumber over time. So essentially, the component of "environment" increased intelligence for some time while the component of "genetics" decreased it and now we are at a point where the second factor cannot be counteracted with improvements in the first factor any more.
